In the present study, data for four stations viz., Banswara, Bhopal, Parbhani and Rahuri for the years from 1990 to 1993 have been utilized to understand various aspects of evapotranspiration of the soybean crop. An attempt has also been made to find out the impact of rainfall and crop duration at different phases on the seed yield.   The yield was found to be significantly correlated with the rainfall during vegetative phase. Crop growth duration exert positive effect on the soybean yield and that a longer flowering period is favourable for higher yields.   The results also indicate that the soybean crop consume maximum water during the vegetative stage.

Abstract BackgroundSoybean grain is an important oil crop with high-quality vegetable protein and vegetable oil. Extreme weather can cause crop yield reduction, among which drought is most likely to cause a decline in annual soybean yield. How to overcome the impact of drought on soybean yield has become a major work in current breeding research.ResultsIn our study, the gene GmELF4-LIKE4 was obtained through RNA-Seq and differential gene screening technology, and the plant over expression vector and RNAi vector were constructed. Then, the Colombian Arabidopsis thaliana and soybean JN18 were genetically transformed and added to the Agrobacterium-mediated method in to T2 generation. We have verified in Arabidopsis thaliana that over expression of ELF4-LIKE4 will delay the flowering of Arabidopsis thaliana, while inhibition of ELF4-LIKE4 expression will advance the flowering period. At the same time, we verified the regulation analysis of GmELF4-LIKE4 on EARLY FLOWERING 3 and CONSTANTS-like in soybeans, and found that GmELF4-LIKE4 positively regulates ELF3 and COL; meanwhile, over expression soybeans and RNAi soybeans were tested in drought. Stressing the relative conductivity, malondialdehyde content and peroxidase activity under 0 days and 5 days, the result indicate that the over expression of GmELF4-LIKE4 gene can reduce the drought resistance of soybean. This study laid a theoretical foundation for the identification of GmELF4-LIKE4 gene function and the breeding of drought-resistant varieties.ConclusionWe found that overexpression of GmELF4-LIKE4 will delay the flowering period of Arabidopsis thaliana and reduce the drought resistance of soybeans. Conversely, inhibiting GmELF4-LIKE4 will advance the flowering of Arabidopsis thaliana and increase the drought resistance of soybeans.

The aim of the study was to assess the impact of sulphur and molybdenum fertilization on the yield and chemical composition of common bean seeds. A field experiment was conducted in southeastern Poland in 2012–2014. The scheme of the study included the following treatments: O-control, Mo-molybdenum (100 g·ha−1), SBS-sulphur before sowing (50 kg·ha−1), SFA-sulphur foliar application (50 kg·ha−1), Mo + SBS-molybdenum (100 g·ha−1) and sulphur before sowing (50 kg·ha−1), and Mo + SFA-molybdenum (100 g·ha−1) and sulphur foliar application (50 kg·ha−1). After harvesting, the following determinations were made in bean seeds: content of nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, methionine, and cysteine. Application of Mo increased seed yield and protein and methionine content, as well as the content and uptake of P, Mg, and Ca in common bean seeds. Sulphur application had a positive effect on seed yield (13.6% increase) and protein content. Moreover, sulphur improved the biological value of protein by increasing the content of methionine, cysteine, and some macroelements. The most beneficial effects were obtained when both molybdenum and sulphur were used in fertilization. Considering the yield-producing effect and the impact on the biological quality of protein, sulphur fertilization should be included in the crop management for the common bean.

Employee performance has a crucial and decisive role in achieving an organization's success. This research conducted at PT. Madubaru Yogyakarta to investigate the impact of training that employees have participated in and empowerment on performance mediated by job satisfaction. Fifty employees of PT. Madubaru Yogyakarta used as a sample during this study. Data analysis and hypothesis testing using SEM-PLS 3.2.8. This study found that training that had been attended by employees and empowerment had a significant positive effect on performance, yet as on job satisfaction. Job satisfaction alone features a significant positive impact on performance. Indirectly, job satisfaction is in a position to mediate the effect of training and individual empowerment on indirect performance, and the indirect effect is essential and decisive. PT. Madubaru Yogyakarta is suggested within the use of coaching methods to be more accurate in order to achieve the training objectives and therefore the direction of employee empowerment is more emphasized on improving performance instead of merely increasing employee satisfaction at work. Realize the targets set by the corporate within the future, the amount of employee satisfaction at work and current performance still has to be improved in order that employee contributions recover.Kinerja karyawan memiliki peran penting dan menjadi penentu untuk mencapai kesuksesan suatu organisasi, Penelitian ini dilakukan di PT. Madubaru Yogyakarta untuk menganalisis dampak pelatihan yang pernah diikuti karyawan dan pemberdayaan terhadap kinerja yang dimediasi oleh kepuasan kerja. Limapuluh karyawan PT. Madubaru Yogyakarta dijadikan sampel dalam penelitian ini. Analisis data dan pengujian hipotesis menggunakan SEM-PLS 3.2.8. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pelatihan yang pernah diikuti karyawan maupun pemberdayaan berdampak signifikan yang positif terhadap kinerja, demikian pula terhadap kepuasan kerja. Kepuasan kerja sendiri, memiliki dampak signifikan yang positif terhadap kinerja. Secaara tidak langsung, kepuasan kerja mampu menjembatani pengaruh pelatihan maupun pemberdayaan secara individual terhadap kinerja secara tidak langsung, pengaruh tidak langsung tersebut bersifat signifikan dan positif. PT. Madubaru Yogyakarta disarankan dalam penggunaan metode pelatihan untuk lebih akurat agar tujuan pelatihan dapat tercapai serta arah pemberdayaan karyawan lebih ditekankan pada peningkatan kinerja bukan sekedar meningkatkan rasa puas karyawan dalam bekerja. Untuk mencapai target yang ditetapkan perusahaan di masa depan, maka tingkat kepuasan karyawan dalam bekerja maupun kinerja yang ada saat ini masih perlu ditingkatkan agar kontribusi karyawan semakin baik.

Background: The impact of concurrent osteoarthritis on mobility and mortality in individuals with Parkinson’s disease is unknown. Objective: We sought to understand to what extent osteoarthritis severity influenced mobility across time and how osteoarthritis severity could affect mortality in individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Methods: In a retrospective observational longitudinal study, data from the Parkinson’s Foundation Quality Improvement Initiative was analyzed. We included 2,274 persons with Parkinson’s disease. The main outcomes were the effects of osteoarthritis severity on functional mobility and mortality. The Timed Up and Go test measured functional mobility performance. Mortality was measured as the osteoarthritis group effect on survival time in years. Results: More individuals with symptomatic osteoarthritis reported at least monthly falls compared to the other groups (14.5% vs. 7.2% without reported osteoarthritis and 8.4% asymptomatic/minimal osteoarthritis, p = 0.0004). The symptomatic group contained significantly more individuals with low functional mobility (TUG≥12 seconds) at baseline (51.5% vs. 29.0% and 36.1%, p < 0.0001). The odds of having low functional mobility for individuals with symptomatic osteoarthritis was 1.63 times compared to those without reported osteoarthritis (p < 0.0004); and was 1.57 times compared to those with asymptomatic/minimal osteoarthritis (p = 0.0026) after controlling pre-specified covariates. Similar results hold at the time of follow-up while changes in functional mobility were not significant across groups, suggesting that osteoarthritis likely does not accelerate the changes in functional mobility across time. Coexisting symptomatic osteoarthritis and Parkinson’s disease seem to additively increase the risk of mortality (p = 0.007). Conclusion: Our results highlight the impact and potential additive effects of symptomatic osteoarthritis in persons with Parkinson’s disease.

Special Case

Digitalization is a megatrend, but there is relatively little knowledge about its consequences for service work in general and specifically in knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS). We studied the impact of digitalization on psychological consequences for employees in tax consultancies as a special case of KIBS. We compare two tax consulting jobs with very different job demands, those of tax consultants (TCs) and assistant tax consultants (ATCs). The results show that the extent of digitalization at the workplace level for ATCs correlates significantly positively with their job satisfaction. For TCs, the same variable correlates positively with their work engagement. These positive effects of digitalization are mediated in the case of ATCs by the impact on important job characteristics. In the case of TCs, which already have very good working conditions, the impact is mediated by the positive effect on self-efficacy. Theoretical and practical consequences of these results are discussed.

Resistance To Penetration

The effects of mechanical perforation densities by extracting soil cores through an aerator Vertidrain with a working width of 1.6 m and equipped with hollow tines spaced of 65 mm, were studied on a sandy soil of a grassy sward in the Golf Course El Kantaoui in Sousse (Tunisia). The mechanical aeration was performed at two densities: 250 and 350 holes/m2. The cone penetration resistance and soil water infiltration were measured. These parameters were performed at initial state before aeration (E0) and then on the 10th, 20th and 30th day after aeration. These results showed that perforation density of 350 holes/m2 had a positive effect on the soil by reducing its cone resistance to penetration compared to the initial state (Rp = 14.8 daN/cm2). At 5 cm depth the decrease in resistance to penetration was 34% and 43% on the 10th and 20th day after aeration, respectively. However, on the 30th day after aeration the soil resistance to penetration tended to grow and its value compared to the initial state decreased only by 21 and 26%, respectively, at 5 and 15 cm of depth only by 10% and 9% with 250 holes/m2 density. The soil water infiltration made a good improvement after aeration compared to the initial state. This parameter increased from 4.8 cm/h to 8.3, 10.9 and 13.1 cm/h with 250 holes/m2 density and to 10, 12.9 and 14.8 cm/h with 350 holes/m2 density on the 10th, 20th and 30th day following the aeration.

Efficiency Indicators

One of efficiency indicators of grain grinders is grain granulometric composition. The basis of mixed fodder is crushed grain, the particles of which must have a leveled granulometric composition for subsequent mixing and obtaining a high-quality feed mixture. In agricultural production, hammer crushers are widely used, in which the destruction of grain occurs due to the impact of a hinged hammer. The main disadvantage of these crushers is that not the entire surface of the hammers is involved in grinding, thus reduces grinding process efficiency. A slightly different principle of material destruction is laid down in the basis of the proposed design of the shock-centrifugal grinder. Main work is performed by flat impact elements located on the rotor, which serve to accelerate crushed particles with subsequent impact of them on the bump elements. An important step in the design of new constructions of shock-centrifugal grinders is to determine size and location of the impact elements on the rotor, without which the grinding process is not possible. In the calculation method presented, the dependencies for determining the velocities and angles of a single particle flight from the surface of a flat impact element for its specified dimensions are proposed. Two variants of an impact element location on the rotor are considered and analyzed: radial and at an angle in the direction of rotor rotation. As a result of research carried out, it is noted that in the case of inclined position of an impact element on the rotor an increase in flight speed and flight angles change in crushed particles, which gives the opportunity to have a positive effect on grinding process.

BACKGROUND It is necessary to cope with situations in daily life to prevent stress-related health consequences. However, coping strategies might differ in their impact on dealing with stressful situations in daily life. Moreover, the effect of coping strategies on situational coping might differ between women and men. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of coping strategies on situational coping in everyday life situations and to investigate gender differences. METHODS An ecological momentary assessment study with the mobile health app TrackYourStress (TYS) was conducted with 113 participants. Coping strategies were measured at baseline with the coping scales Positive Thinking, Active Stress Coping, Social Support, Support in Faith, and Alcohol and Cigarette Consumption of the Stress and Coping Inventory (SCI). Situational coping was assessed by the question “How well can you cope with your momentary stress-level” (slider 0-100) in daily life over four weeks. Multilevel models were conducted to test the effects of the coping strategies on situational coping. Additionally, gender differences were evaluated. RESULTS Positive Thinking (P=.03) and Active Stress Coping (P=.04) had significant positive impacts on situational coping in the total sample. For women, only Social Support had a significant positive effect on situational coping (P=.046). For men, only Active Stress Coping had a significant positive effect on situational coping (P=.001). Women had higher scores on the SCI scale Social Support than men (P=.007). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that different coping strategies could be more effective in daily life for women than for men, which should be considered in the development of interventions aimed at reducing stress consequences through coping. Interventions taking gender into consideration might lead to better coping-outcomes than generalized interventions.

The impact of World War II on cost accountancy in the U.S. may be viewed as a double-edged sword. Its most positive effect was engendering greater cost awareness, particularly among companies that served as military contractors and, thus, had to make full representation to contracting agencies for reimbursement. On the negative side, the dislocations of war, especially shortages in the factors of production and capacity constraints, meant that such “scientific management” techniques as existed (standard costing, time-study, specific detailing of task routines) fell by the wayside. This paper utilizes the archive of the Sperry Corporation, a leading governmental contractor, to chart the firm's accounting during World War II. It is concluded that any techniques that had developed from Taylorite principles were suspended, while methods similar to contemporary performance management, such as subcontracting, emphasis on the design phase of products, and substantial expenditure on research and development, flourished.
